With millions of accounts being stolen all the time (Adobe, Snapshat, Gawker, Forbes), your account may have been compromised, without you even knowing it. This site helps you check if your account is one of the millions there. You can even subscribe to get updates when new attacks are found and your mail is part of the hacked accounts.

Complaint-Driven Development
Doing Lean? Agile? Scrum? What you really want to do is CDD – Complaint Driven Development:
- Get your software in front of as many real users as you can.
- Listen to all the things they complain about. It will be… a lot.
- Identify and fix the top 3 things people keep repeatedly complaining about.
- Do it again.
